Posted November 16, 2017 Good evening, all, I apologize if this question has already been asked an answered but regarding the "server rental" option I heard about on the YouTube dev trailer, will that be the only option for running ones own server ( renting a hosted server ) or will there ever be an option to download the server files and host the service on our own? For example, I have a mini-rack at home that I use for a file server. I'd be interested in running the game off of something like that if possible. Second part: If the only options will be renting a hosted server or playing on a hosted server / official server, what will the price be for renting a server if one has been determined. Again, sorry if this has been asked and answered. I am currently going through the forums and watching videos for more info. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I do not believe this will be an option simply as I said above, due to the extensive resources required. I am not sure about what I've said above, it is just to my knowledge and what I've heard/read on the Discord/Forums/YouTube videos covered by people like TheDynasty Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted November 16, 2017 Understandable. Renting probably wouldn't be something I'd want to do right out of the gate regardless but it does pique my interest. Price-wise I'd assume the cost associated with it would come down once the game is fully online and has a growing community. I also didn't think to mention this but, as it's being labeled an "MMORPG" what sub fees have been mentioned? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

If by sub-fees, you mean microtransactions, then I'm 99% sure they've said there is currently none planned. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted November 16, 2017 In a sense MT but I was thinking more along the lines of a game like World of Warcraft where you have a monthly recurring subscription fee or if Identity was planned as a 1 time payment and you own it deal Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

It will be a 1-time payment. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Posted November 16, 2017 (edited) Will have to rent a server off them due to spatial OS i believe. I heard the game was going to be $50 on full release, whether that changes or not. There will be microtransactions, but only cosmetic items, like cars, furniture, clothes. Only one time payment to play the game. Rental server costs haven't been determined yet, since its a while away. Edited November 16, 2017 by Narc 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
